In mid-June, the agent of Dinamo Moscow star Balázs Dzsudzsák confirmed that Liverpool had 'made an approach' for the midfielder, and reports in Russia today claim that a deal for the Hungarian will be concluded in a matter of days.
Speaking to fcinter1908 in June Dzsudzsak's agent, Jozsef Vorosbaranyi, said:
"Numerous clubs have made an approach, including Internazionale and Liverpool".
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed yesterday that he plans to sign at least one more attacking player during the current transfer window, and according to Hungarian newspaper Nemzeti Sport today, Liverpool have beaten Inter Milan to the Dzudszak's signature:
"Liverpool have made a £12m final offer for Balázs Dzsudzsák. Dzsudzsak was recently in Liverpool, and a publicist for Dynamo Moscow will announce the signing via an official press release in a few days"
In February, Dzsudzsák confirmed that he was block from joining Liverpool during the January transfer window. He told reporters:
"Dinamo didn't let me go, not even to Liverpool. I can't say any more because it is not my position to do so, but it seems that some respectable teams still believe in me. What I couldn't do during the winter transfer window can be done in the summer"
Then, in an interview with Nemzeti Sport soon afterwards, Dynamo Sporting Director Dmitry Galjamin explained why the Russian club blocked the deal:
"Liverpool put in an offer to take Dzsudzsák on loan, but didn't want to buy. Since a loan deal is not an option for us, we immediately closed negotiations"
If Liverpool had decided to buy Dzsudzsák outright then it looks a deal could've been concluded. However, given the fact he cost €19m only a year ago - a deal that made Dzsudzsák the most expensive Hungarian footballer in the history of the game - it's hardly surprising that Dynamo told the Reds to stuff it.
I don't get the feeling that Dzsudzsák is a priority target for Liverpool. All clubs have first choice targets, and failsafe options, and to me, this (potential) deal feels like a back-up plan, possible for Henrikh Mkhitaryan, whose protracted transfer situation continues to cause problems for LFC.
Having said that, LFC previously tried to sign Dzudszak, so perhaps he is a priority for Rodgers, and perhaps the boss plans to sign Mkhitaryan AND Dzudsak...?

I don't think he is good enough and there are better/cheaper options available.
ReplyDeletedon't know what to make of all this crap
ReplyDeleteNemzeti Sport is a Hungarian newspaper not a Russian.
ReplyDeleteOMG....it gets worse....
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeletelol we are downgrading on our signings now never mind the players that may well leave,and why another midfielder ,what our formation this season nil ten nil,if suarez and pepe go and we sign him ,and no one else imo we are downgrading the side massively ,sick of cheap tacky signings who can blame suarez for wanting out
ReplyDeleteWhat?.... No thanks, Eriksen is a much better option for that kind of money :P
ReplyDeleteHow exactly is Dzudszak - or the likes of Alberto, Aspas etc 'cheap, tacky signings'? Your 'criticisms' here are entirely baseless and without any kind of credibility. You provide no reasoning to back up what you say, and just diss the signings for the hell of it.
ReplyDeletei dunno
ReplyDeletei diss them because they are cheap gambles that will not take us to the next level we got lucky with coutinho ,but how many times have we bought players like this ,for them just to be shipped on at a loss,fsg will not pay the wages of te other top clubs and thats why we do not sign big nme players ,because they want decent money ,lets get rid of suarez and pepe pension gerrard of ,and full the squad with average players on average wages,we will end up like newcastle packed ground but not a lot of hope,i cannot wait fot te transfer window to close so that we can not sell any of our decent players ,because one things for certain we will not be buying any
ReplyDeleteTake it easy Jason. It's all just rumours, like the possibility of Mkhitaryan joining us. Papers need to be sold, websites need traffic.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair not many other clubs have signed people either, i think compared to other clubs we have done great business. But i agree we need a marquee signing otherwise my faith in FSG will waiver
ReplyDeleteusually utube make any player look like messi class !
ReplyDeleteHe was a decent player at PSV and i liked him alot, but once he left i havent really heard even a whisper about him unless it involves a transfer to us.
ReplyDeleteSo i really dont know how to feel about this one.
How do you know they will be 'cheap gambles' who will 'not take us to the next level'?
ReplyDeleteAs I said, you're just dissing them for no reason. Provide some proper reasoning why the players signed so far are somehow not good enough.
LFC spent big in the past on the likes of Keane, Aquilani, Carroll, Downing, Hendo etc, and where did that get the club?
Recent history has *proved* that Rodgers' mid-range signings have been good (i.e. Sturridge and Coutinho), so that provides ample hope that Aspas et al will be good signings.
And even if they're not, it's better to gamble small than big, like Dalglish did.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, buy you just seem to continually spew out baseless views about the club's transfer business that (IMO) have no foundation in reality.
so what if is last signings came good what about the others ,and we will see what the reality is at the start of the season about fsg,s transfer,s ,i bet they is not one signing that gets us all excited ,and now we live in hope ,you mite do i do not sick to death of the namby pamby supporters who will ,except any old crap put infront of them ,fsg said we could complete with any club in the world ,when it come to transfers ,so its about time they did,charlatins
ReplyDeleteWe do have funds left.... We've spent 2 million so far. Mkhitaryan-20-25 million, dzsudzsak-12 million, and another CB.... :) then sorted
ReplyDeleteYou make a good point JASE.We hit the jackpot with COUTINHO and now every young footballer we sign, some fans have unrealistic expectations they will turn out like him.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is we could make 10 hit or miss risky signings and 3 if we're lucky would work out.
Like KIEREN said i'm waiting for our marquee signing of the summer.
Look mate, I agree with you but regarding the new signings, you need to give them a chance. Alberto and Aspas do not excite many. Aspas seems okay, I'm concerned that Alberto has only played football in second division leagues. Can't complain with Mignolet and Toure. But my point is just give them a chance, you're criticisms would be 100% correct if they play though a season and are rubbish, but for now, before even a ball has been kicked, your criticisms are unwarranted.
ReplyDeleteWe do have funds left.... We've spent 2 million so far. Mkhitaryan-20-25 million, dzsudzsak-12 million, and another CB.... :) then sorted
ReplyDeleteYou're almost becoming a parody of yourself.
ReplyDeleteYou can't speak on behalf of all LFC fans. I'm sure many are excited about Aspas and Alberto. I know I am, and I base that on past-performance, potential, and Rodgers current hot streak of signing good players.
And once again, you denigrate the new signings by calling them 'crap'. Based on what, exactly?
FSG have spent lots of money on transfers since arriving, and that is an irrefutable fact. They've made more money available for transfers than the previous regime, and it makes total sense for them to be a little cautious with big transfer fees after making the catastrophic mistake of entrusting 100m+ to Dalglish.
IF Dalglish had got his signings right, then I'm sure Rodgers would have similar wads of money to spend now.
Like so many others, you take too much of a short-term view; LFC can compete with any club on transfers, but this is a long-term project; not all the club's cash is going to used in one transfer window. Additionally, it is a deliberate choice to not sanction a series of big money moves. It is a prudent approach, and considering LFC have not been in the CL for three years now, it's the right approach (IMO).
Jase is right, they are cheap gambles, but maybe the cheap gambles are not an issue, better than the expensive gambles if you ask me. I am willing to wait and see how our new players perform.
ReplyDeleteBut i will judge FSG by their marquee signings, no marquee signings and this will worry me, even if we are lucky this time with our cheap gambles we will not always be lucky and we should at the very least be pushing for top 4 this year and to be honest this is the minimum!
This year it is time to put their money where their mouth is, but i do like their more clever approach they have for the last 6 months
What is this obsession with marquee signings? Signing big names is no guarantee of anything. What marquee signings did Man United make last year?
ReplyDeleteChelsea bought Torres for 50m, and they've added several other 'marquee signings' since (Hazard etc), and did it win them the league?
Surely van Persie was a 'marquee'
ReplyDeleteYeah, you're right. Forgot about that one (!)
ReplyDeleteMy problem is with the signings we have made is that they might come good, right now it can go both ways. Imagine if all fail then our team will be the same as last year and that was only good enough for 7th place. So i want a marquee signing as that would give us more chance in moving up the table.
ReplyDeleteOf course BR's hot streak might continue and all of his signings turn into world beaters, but to me that is risky (and reminds me of last summer)
RVP most be considered a marquee signing?
You're right, the signings of Alberto et al might fail, but marquee signings might fail too. Very few of LFC's big money signings have actually worked out over the last few years, so if we're going to gamble, it's better to do it on a small scale.
ReplyDeleteEven if LFC sign Mkhitaryan for 20m plus, there's no guarantee that he's going to do the business. Also, I'm sure most fans - myself included - knew very little about Mkhitaryan prior to this transfer window, so I don't see how he can be considered a 'marquee signing' anyway.
I agree with you, marquee signings might fail but i guess there is less chance, that is why you pay the big money for them.
ReplyDeleteLike you and most others i have only ever seen HM play a couple of times in the champions league i am no expert on him. I'm not saying we need to sign HM otherwise our season is over. The marquee signing could be someone else. We have seen in Jan what the signing committee can do with a little amount of money, now i am ready to trust them with a higher amount. I have trust in them
It is for sure we wasted a lot of money on dross and that needs to stop, but it is also time to back the transfer committee
Marquee signings attract other top players.If our squad was filled with young or unproven players.We then approached a top name and said come and play for us I wouldn't like our chances of getting the player.
ReplyDeleteThe argument between Jaimie K and CARR71 was awesome just made my day lol
ReplyDeleteAuberges jaimie it is due to the fact that our signings are not very prominent on the latest edition of FIFA or what other management computer games exist lol.
ReplyDeleteI dread to think how lfc would turn out in the real world if some idiots here were in charge :)
I'll have you know, this Dzudszak guy was a beast for me on football manager ;)
ReplyDeleteGenerally, you're probably right about big signings having more chance of making a difference, but in LFC's case, that isn't true over the last few years:
ReplyDelete* Keane - 20m
* Aquilani - 18m
* Carroll - 35m
* Downing - 20m
* Henderson - 20m
* Allen - 15m
£128m outlay, and what specific benefit has the club gained? Absolutely zero.
Conversely, Sturridge and Coutinho cost £20m, and the benefit in the second half of the season was obvious.
If Aspas and Alberto have a similar impact, great, but if they fail, then the financial damage will be minimal compared to the ridiculous amounts paid for Carroll et al, and in a year when LFC are not in Europe, that's important.
If the club was in the CL this season, then I'd agree that big signings are a pre-requisite, but that's not the case.
thanks for the tip. I can confirm that HM on football manager isn't that good :-)
ReplyDeleteIf that's true, then how did LFC attract Suarez? Torres - a marquee player - had just left; the club was going through an ownership meltdown, and there were no marquee signings at that time.
ReplyDeleteNever tried him out as I'm a shrewd spender, Jason wouldn't like my management style that's for sure :P
ReplyDeleteI would agree with most of that list but Hendo for me was one of LFC's best players this year and IMO helped to facilitate the upturn in our results, so i am more than happy for him to stay...the others were dross.
ReplyDeleteBut my point is, that the new transfer committee has proven they know how to make signings so i am willing to entrust them with more cash.
I'm not worried like Jase, i believe we will make a marquee signing (20m+) this summer, but i'm not sure who it will be. My hopes do not only hinge on HM signing for us.
For it only being the 4th July, i am happy with our dealings so far.
Touché my friend. Thanks for the chuckle lol. Here's to a good season
ReplyDeleteWe got SUAREZ because he bit someone and he was looking for a way out of AJAX.Special circumstances!
ReplyDeleteI like to splash the cash and take risks, Jason would love me as manager, marquee signings all the way!
ReplyDeleteMy concern is about the purposes for these signings. Mignolet and Toure have a clear purpose, however what role will Aspas and Alberto play? Don't you think it's concerning that we shed a few million for this Alberto guy, when we already have other 19 year olds busting a gut to get into the team. Suso already has MORE top flight experience than Alberto. It reeks of Rodgers favouritism to me.
ReplyDeleteI believe Jason makes a decent point. He's not requesting a bank busting deal, but he wants a reputable signing. He doesn't want established players being replaced by unknowns. I don't care about prices, Aspas might do a decent job for us - But if Alberto is going to stagnate the progress of Suso or Henderson playing in a further advanced role, what's the point of that signing?
Good points. If Jason expressed his criticism in constructive terms then that would be fine, but he doesn't do that; he just disses them in a totally baseless way.
ReplyDeleteFor me, I think there is a clear purpose to the signings. Taking a look at LFC's current midfield attacking options:
Suso, Sterling, Downing, Borini, Henderson, Gerrard, Coutinho.
That's alarmingly thin if you ask me, and what sticks out like a sore thumb is the lack of goals, and consistent goal-creation:
* Gerrard aside, Coutinho is the only one of that lot who scores/creates consistently.
* Suso/Sterling have good potential, but their end produce is exceedingly poor. Yes, they're young, but even with that excuse, goalscoring/assisting is not good enough.
* Downing and Henderson improved last season, but they still do not score/create consistently enough.
* LFC need midfielders who will score/create consistently. Aspas proved that he can do that in La Liga, and Alberto got 8 goals and 17 assists for Barcelona B last season, which shows he has the potential.
Neither Suso nor Sterling achieved anything like that return for LFC's youth teams, which makes Alberto (IMO) a better option right now.
Players need time to develop, but can LFC really go into next season relying on Suso, Sterling, Henderson and Downing (combined goals = 13 in ALL competitions last season) to score and create goals?
I submit that it would be disastrous to rely on them, which is why (IMO) Rodgers is signing attacking midfielders with a strong record of scoring/creating goals.
It also explains why he wants Mkhitaryan - the guy is a goal machine from midfield, and that's what LFC need.
I don't believe that Suso/Sterling's development will be stunted. There will inevitably be injuries, loss of form etc, and they'll get a chance.
Fully agree although few people, including myself knew very little about Suarez before he joined us and he, like Mkhitaryan was a prolific goal scorer for around the same price. I would say that Mkhitaryan is far less of a gamble than the other signings and like it or not the price tag of a player is an indication as to how successful a player will be at a club (ignoring the odd Carroll & Torres signings).
ReplyDeleteI am however optimistic about Alberto & Aspas... based only on comments from previous coaches and the youtube vids that make Ryan Babel look like Pele
I like to see a few big names signing for LFC,yes Coutinho and sturridge turned out to be good players but not all youth players will hit the ground running like they did.The club have funded the deals done so far with the sale of Carroll so must be plenty left with the new TV deals and the jerseys getting changed again then the 25 mil that FSG said they would fund I can't get my head around not getting big deals done if they want Suarez to stay they need to show him they will get the players needed to reach the top this is why we lost Torres down to broken promises.The fans now are buying into this rebuilding project that is a good seller but other clubs are also doing it,so no one is asking for silly money like city and chelski get loaned to them buy there owners but have some balls and spend some cash on big named players,
ReplyDeleteEvery player signing is a gamble. Many established stars elsewhere fail when they move teams. Other not well known players flourish. Price is no guarantee of success, so I'd quit making judgements on people based on their transfer fee CARR71 as its showing your lack of knowledge.
ReplyDeleteWhy critiscise "cheap" signings when you acknowledge we can't afford marquee names? You're abit confused aren't you lol
Any signing is a gamble, I guess FSG would rather gamble with a bit less money, rather than £25 million +. Financially it makes sense, and Liverpool FC is a business as well as a club.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine the failures of Carroll, Downing et al, have made them think twice about spending big bucks.
Nothing like finding that unknown 'wonder kid' and turning them in to a star!
ReplyDeleteIsn't he meant to be on his way to Dortmund? Not really going to be able to compete with them at the moment.
ReplyDeleteTrue - let's hope Alberto is our very own wonder kid haha
ReplyDeleteThose small scale gambles can add up Jaimie and if you class Boroni, Allen and assadi as small scale gambles that's a lot of money. I'm actually quite optimistic about these signings, we have being crying out for pacey goalscorers for a long time now.
ReplyDeletenot to mention that Barcelona B actually plays in Spanish segunda division which is the second highest tier of spanish football. playing against alikes of villareal which few years back was still in europe.
ReplyDeleteIt is in par with championship of england. imagine if average joe from wolves wouldve achieved 8 goals 17 assists in championship last season? people here would be screaming to sign him.
I agree with JK. luis alberto is a player with loads of potential. and a good signing. better player than suso and sterling, no question.
and before the moaning about "if he is so good why didnt barca keep him" just look at the young players they will ship out before end of transfer window.
Tello leaving Delafeu, Thiago.... propably.
even barca needs to generate money to justify purchases of young brazilians for kings ransom.
But couldn't any signing go both ways? We could sign Gomez, who has an incredible record, but it doesn't mean he will score the same in England.
ReplyDeleteDirk Kuyt scored 20+ goals 4 seasons in a row, but he was never that prolific for Liverpool. Passed success doesn't mean, they will produce it again. Just as passed failures could be turned around, to be a success.
Give the new guys a chance, before writing them off.
Agree, Paul. I'd class Coutinho, Aspas and Alberto - i.e. players less than £10m - as small gambles. Borini and Allen are bigger gambles.
ReplyDeletethey will tou and big signings at that
ReplyDeleteyou go on about rodgers brilliant signings yet every time you mention thre midfield options you forget about allen i wonder why
ReplyDeleteyou diss them because you havnt heard of them... classic, like a kid on fifa or FM you want players you have heard of not players who'll be best for the team. well how do you think players get famous in the first place? they play for big teams who aren't gunna be pushovers and let them leave for nothing. its so obvious that we have to build for the future, a gamble but if done well it'll be amazing.
ReplyDeletelol mate loads of players smash them stats in the championship ince for one,just because he came from barce, dose not mean hes any good
ReplyDeletewhen did he go to chavski
ReplyDeleteevery transfer is a gamble but some are astute gambles king kenny and beardsley were british records ,but tey were worth it
ReplyDeleteThiago and Tello both have low release clauses, so Barca's hand is somewhat forced with them two, especially with the competition both of them face in the squad. So not a reliable standard to enforce your point. Delofeu is most likely off on loan. They may have a considerable debt but seems to be one they can manage with comfortably, especially with the way they monopolize TV money in La Liga, along with Real. I doubt Barca need to actively sell to raise funds. I don't agree with that angle of attack of your post. Although they need to sell to create space though in the squad, which is why Villa is mostly likely off. I can see why don't need Luis Alberto, as they don't need him as they have options for the positions he can play in. He probably is a good prospect but I doubt Barca didn't sign him because they didn't want to make the financial commitment, more likely they didn't need him.
ReplyDeletetorres suarez ,were big signings they paid divident
ReplyDeletewe will only make a 20million plus signing if we sell a 40million plus player,wonder which one of our players that will be
ReplyDeletebut why buy ten players for 7or8 million we cannot play them all i would rather have 2or3 quality players
ReplyDeletei disagree buddy, i believe we will make a 20m+ signing even if suarez stays
ReplyDeletethe thing is you need to play 11 players, so getting 2 or 3 quality signings won't help either.
ReplyDeleteIf you have 3 world beaters (1 in defence, 1 in attack and 1 in midfield) and 8 below average players then you still won't win anything. I suggest you need the happy medium, buy 3-5 underrated players and 2-3 great players, that way you make our money go a little further.
i cannot see one comming ,unless our biggest name goes
ReplyDeletei will be hoping they turn out to be world beaters m8 but the fact is thats what we are doing hoping
ReplyDeletewhy can we not afford them fsg said we could compete with any club in the world,i did not realise they meant the third world
ReplyDeleteand if we do not try to sign top players the chances are even less
ReplyDeletethey is shrewd the there is tight
ReplyDeletelol not really look at man city last season you need a balance
ReplyDeleteWell i invest in youngsters as well :-)
ReplyDeletebut we already had a half decent team ,we needed a new midfielder a striker and a defender,we did not need a goalkeeper unless like i think pepe is off
ReplyDeleteI agree with most of the things you are saying Jamie and I'm also quite upset with carr's extreme criticisms. I would believe that most of us liverpool fans realise that although we are one of the biggest clubs in the world, we were one day from administration just a few years ago. Although FSG have no experience with football they saved liverpool and their current strategy to try to adhere to FFP might not make fans like Carr happy but does seem to be a sensible policy nonetheless. Without CL football we don't have the extra cash or the extra appeal to get a lot of the top tier players, BUT that's okay, it makes our job harder but it's still achievable. That's why we got the scouts from man city and continue to develop players from the academy and redevelop anfield. I do fear that we might end up like arsenal which I pray we don't but I don't believe we will. We should give these players time to prove themselves, cos Carr's comments you are basically undermining all the combined efforts of every working staff at the club trying to better liverpool. If you only care about big money signings Carr I would suggest you change and support Chelsea, PSG or man city or Monaco cos I think then you would be a very happy man. Don't misunderstand me, I'm as frustrated as every other fan and I want to see us lift the title and win the European cup again so don't say that I'm settling for mediocrity.
ReplyDeletedo not get me started about the youngsters its a good job suarez and pepe have pulled their kids out of nursery.it frees a few places up for some of our young players lol
ReplyDeletenot a chance imo but if you think that what do you think they will do if they sell suarez get 3 ,20mill+ players
ReplyDeleteHalf decent team that finished 7th. I think we can all agree that ideally we don't want to see Downing in the first 11, the same would probably go for Skertl. Also we would need a backup left back, a new striker, more attacking midfield and a few good squad players. If we get 2 great players and the rest squad fillers i would be happy
ReplyDeleteif we sell Suarez then we will get a replacement for him. Maybe we don't use the whole transfer fee received, but as long as he is replaced then i will be happy. We then keep the money for January. Of course FSG has to prove to me that is what they plan, but right now i trust them
ReplyDeletegod m8 sorry for upsetting you ,i will get the violin out ,bleeding heart
ReplyDeleteAgain, I agree with you Jamie. What is a reputable signing? Michu was kinda unknown and what happened? Adebayor can be considered a reputable signing but did he produce much? We should stop focusing so much on the reputation and let them prove themselves on the pitch. Would you rather sign someone like Joe Cole but cannot produce or someone like coutinho? The answer is clear.
ReplyDeleteFFP. That's why, your income is broken up into parts. Wages take up 70% of our income so we have 30% to play with. That also goes on agent fees.....
ReplyDeleteand if done badly a total waste of f"cking time and money
ReplyDeleteBig name signings nowadays guarantee bugger all. Those players in return get a fat wage and have all the power to come and go as they please, talk sh*t about their clubs when things do not go their way, whore themselves to get their wish of a move and bring loads of problems to the clubs clubs.
ReplyDeleteTevez, Balotelli, Nasri, Santa Cruz, Robinho, Jo, Adebayor, Garcia...
Where have these above marquee signings got Man City?

come on m8 no one i know thought joke cole was the answer,

well i would suggest if i'm not disappointed then i guess you won't be either. We all want the same thing in the end
ReplyDeleteOr he just realistic.... What he said is right. With FFp coming in money gone tighter, with no CL income is harder for us. But FSG are still putting money into Liverpool.
ReplyDeleteGuess the only way is for both of us to pray someone like Abramovich buys liverpool then we'll both be happy?
ReplyDeleteIt's just an example of a so called "reputable" signing.
ReplyDeleteRVP is definitely the shrewdest business Fergie has ever done but I really think its so stupid and crazy for Wenger to sell to him. It's just an insane piece of business, strengthening your bitter rival and weakening yourself? What was Wenger thinking? Just sell to a foreign club at a lower price or just keep him till the contract runs out. Stupid Wenger worse deal he has ever done in his life.
ReplyDeleteRVP is costing UTD 250k a week. Arsenal did not do any worse without him last season so not sure it is the worst deal Wenger has ever made.
ReplyDeleteLetting go of Fabregas was actually the most stupid move Wenger ever made.
Chelsea paying 50mil for Torres was the biggest waste of money ever.
ReplyDeleteUs paying 35mil for Carroll is in 2nd place.
Spending big guarantees nothing nowadays.
SAF shrewdest piece of business was signing CANTONA.He was bought for 1.2m from LEEDS who were league Champions.
ReplyDeleteThe success unfortunately that came from that started their dominance.That tops the RVP's signing.PETER SCHMIECHEL is another player i think rates higher than RVP!
It was not stupid because he already knew Cesc wanted to leave one day and go back to barca so there's nothing he can really do about it right? Don't let him leave and tie him up?
ReplyDeletespot on
ReplyDeleteBut then same applies to RVP who also chose to leave?
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes that irritating bully made a lot of good deals in his lifetime. I just hate to talk about them which makes me turn in my stomach. Why don't you throw in signing CR7 in there as well? Manure!!
ReplyDeleteCR7? I thought we were talking football not sports cars :-)
ReplyDeleteDzudzak's playing style is similar to Bellamy's. He'll be a massive addition to the club. He has pace, technique, cross... good if it's true in my opinion.
ReplyDeletewe've been hoping to win the PL for the last 20+ years one more year of hoping will do i guess :P
ReplyDeleteAs the debate about the new signings rages on, anyone know why Luis Alberto can't get in the Spain U20 side, but Suso is having a great tournament for them? That's the only thing that has confused me with that signing.
ReplyDeleteI think Aspas will do ok and I am actually glad we are signing more attacking midfielders as this allows Hendo to drop back into a more natural deeper role, plus it eradicates the amount of times the likes of Downing start for us.
I am a little worried about the defence, I think Johnson and Enrique can be so frail defensively and I also think Lucas needs support/competition as he hasn't been the same since his injuries. I hope Kelly can stay for because I think he could be a new signing by himself.
The main thing we need is consistency! So fair play to the transfer comittee on signing earlier. The more time the players have together the better.
bang on the money
ReplyDeleteagree but not in my eyes
ReplyDeletenot at all lets not cry about it
ReplyDeleteagree
ReplyDeletelol man u spent massive money on some reject
ReplyDeleteiam not on about winning it lol
ReplyDeleteI must say I'm quite happy with our business thus far, It's clear FSG had a look at BR and they trust him. We blew money in 2011 and FSG were very unhappy with the lack of value for money, as we all were. I don't care how much a player cost's as long as he has been scouted properly, that is now the case. I don't care the name of the player, as long as he has been scouted properly etc etc etc........................things are looking very good, trust FSG and BR as they want, what we want....................a winning team!!!.
ReplyDeleteyou mention comolli once but slag kenny off half a dozen times didn't the frenchman agree the final price and suarez was a good buy and hendo and carroll are good players but rogers was daft going public about carroll not fitting his style of football the 2 signings in jan are being hailed as masterstrokes but didn't carroll look good against city the same as lucas looked bad at the start it shocks me why people are having a go at kenny didnt he set diame up on a free and he would of proved a good signing better than joe the crab allen
ReplyDelete16 goals in 33 games in 2011...could be a good find. Still need a big mean defender or two though...where are they?
ReplyDeletesome info for you my friend Liverpool have sold 23mil worth of players this window .And have bought guess ???? 23mil Toure Aspas Alberto Mignolet
ReplyDeleteAnother one of jaimies breaking news reports? Maybe this one might actually be correct hey kanwar?
ReplyDeleteare you serious? this squad needs depth. ten players for 7-8 mill is a logical choice at this moment in time
ReplyDeletetrue but we should also consider the 26m loss we took on AC
ReplyDeleteChelsea has taken a 50 mil lose on torres ??? but there still spending . Barcelona has lose they stick there players in barca B side we just bought one. every club has lose in players who don't live up to there hype. Do they stop spending no because they get left behind . we are waiting to sell players to buy simple. Who else does that I really don't know
ReplyDeleteNot really...RVP was hugely disrespectful and claimed he'd walk out after his contract finished, and Arsenal would get nothing. So it became an obvious decision to sell him. Wenger felt he was entitled to some cash for him. He had his heart set on United, because City offered him way more cash. I'm sure there were also foreign offers. A club can accept all the offers but it's up to the player to decide where to go.
ReplyDeleteYou'd rather take 20m than nothing - It's Wengers fault that he brought in the wrong players (except Carzola) and didn't invest the money that he earned from sales such as Nasri and Fabregas properly.
Nah, JK made a comment about United not signing a marquee last season - but he forgot about van Persie. Who can blame him though, everyones trying to forget their 20th title...
ReplyDeletenot everyone has an owner like Chelsea who throws money around for fun.
ReplyDeleteTeams like Barca who win their League and get to the Semi finals of the CL obviously have prize money to spend.
Im just saying that when we take a 20m loss on a player its gonna affect our transfer budget when we dont win anything and have no european football.
you would like to win something right albeit the Capital1 Cup
ReplyDeleteIt's not about marquee signings it is simply about talent, determination, pride for your shirt and club. If these players Aspas, Alberto and alike play to their maximum potential, fit in to style of play and bleed for LFC giving 100% who are we to criticise? Time will tell!
ReplyDeleteboth legs fantastic. pure confidence. old school kind of singing. i like that it's kept secret so far. might be great singing. It looks that the only way it won't work would be not fitting to the style of play and therefor i believe if sold in the future will still have a big or price tag.
ReplyDeletetotally right fsg the great benifactors
ReplyDeletelol all in the same position
ReplyDeletei would like us to challenge
ReplyDeleteBR did say that but he also got us 21.5 million for Carroll. For that price we got in coutinho and Sturridge.
ReplyDeleteWe've only sold players which wasn't needed. And got in players better suited. Your comment is weak. Because the window hasn't even closed we will see how much FSG spend.
ReplyDeleteWere Does it say transfers are over we still have players to sell coates suarez pepe spearing skrtel Fact . And the true fact is we have sold 23mil in players and have signed 23mil worth fact . Up to this point . Your a tower of Knowledge you cut the grass at Melwood . weak hahaha
ReplyDeleteLooks like a poor version of Downing/Henderson if that is possible, why didn't Rodgers give Asaidi a chance he was quick and did well in the few games he played for us.
ReplyDeleteliverpool4life565 said these comments are weak . the fact that the amounts sold and bought are a true fact . he is right with one comment transfer window is early days correct we still have Spearing Suarez Skrtel Pepe to raise funds for more signings Sorry its a fact . yes FSG Great benifactors
ReplyDeleteCoates yes will go. And spearing. Maybe skrtel. Suarez, and pepe will stay as BR have said.
ReplyDelete565 is rodgers in disguise if he says something it must be true hk,s signed according to him last week the club are just waiting for 565 to give the go ahead to announce it ;-)
ReplyDeletedon't disagree with Jason! I did once and i got abuse for it, i expect i will get more now,only his opinion counts OK! just for the record i agree with JK, look at Dortmund, built on common sense, what Jason doesn't realise is we won't pay the huge wages, or the £60 million prices because we don't have the money, or the CL. get real Jason and stop bullying people who have a different opinion.
ReplyDeleteif a abused you iam sorry but i normally only abuse people who are sniping at me
ReplyDeleteJason why do you lie? plenty of times you said that and I've said I didn't say that, I don't want to repeat myself again.
ReplyDeleteIf you saw over the years with FSG they've hardly sold to buy. Why would it change this window?:) if we do sell we will invest it back into our squad. Plus the money FSG have made available to us.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahahahah what im getting myself up from the floor So so true 565 works Melwood for sure
ReplyDeleteHe only insults people because he knows his wrong the only way he can get out of the questions...
ReplyDeleteWasn't that funny. Guess you get humoured easily :)
ReplyDeleteyou stated that hk was signiing because he signed a lfc shirt,you stated hk was signing on a site he was signing,after someone put up a dodgy photo on the internet,
ReplyDeleteeven gerrard as to check with him before he can take a dump;-)
ReplyDeleteLying again. Tut tut. Won't get you far. I'm only going through this once with you again. I said IF Mkhitaryan signs, also I asked a question on the picture "does this mean he signing?" Go check yourself.
ReplyDeletestop it haha
ReplyDeleteNo one even knows what carr71 is saying his grammar is awful.
ReplyDeleteHaha
ReplyDeletei will now got to go 565 is getting upset with me bless him
ReplyDeleteAS 565 said DONT be weak
ReplyDeleteNot upsetting me? Lol just putting you straight. Because you like to make things up. Haha joker
ReplyDeleteYour comment was weak,you can't judge FSG on spending because window isn't closed that's why it was weak. If you took offence but fair enough.
ReplyDeleteOn this site your protected . you go on everyone comments and your opinion is the only one . Not only that . Your right all the time you call people smart ass names like weak they don't make sense you do. If anyone does have something to say about FSG you have the right info . You know what is going on at Melwood . what toilet roll has been changed. People may be slightly wrong or don't share you view stop belittling people with your smart ass comments. You attach your self to everyone Bro easy doing that behind computer and keyboard I think that's called keyboard hero . I didn't comment on your profile. your on everyones for everything you know it all
ReplyDelete"Everyone comments" no I really don't, you moan about FSG spending, but you don't see the proper side,all I'm saying is look at the financial year report. Shows FSG are pumping money into our team. I reply with facts. Not to belittle people. like I said no offence was ment.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say "peace" mate, until i read the last bit of your post, which only proves my point! if i remember right i disagreed with you and earache for it, like a dog with a bone,so i am "poor me" am i now, last time it was "boo hoo" very adult ,i don't want get into this with you, your not worth the effort, so you keep slagging off BR and the club for not doing what YOU want and i will not bother answering you ok? maybe you should manage Liverpool, oh i forgot you have no answers only criticism!! p.s. you must be busy, most people snipe at you? wonder why?
ReplyDeletei would like to know how you know my name maybe it was you who left the vile messages on my face book,but then again maybe not,and boo hoo is hardley abuse ,infact i think you post is more abusive lpl
ReplyDeletespot on m8 usually ends his posts hahahahahah
ReplyDeleteLet brendan do what he has to do man... if you want to get more marquee just give them money to buy those players. liverpool is a team that hasnt played champions league for 3 season an this season also will not be in champions league. dont think marquee players will want to come to liverpool man. are you really a liverpool fans. instead of doing criticism. you should encourage them. great job brendan continue doing so.
ReplyDeletei ask the ? again or do you not have an answer
ReplyDeletewhat question ?
ReplyDeletethe vquestion about my name and facebook
ReplyDeleteFirst i only know your name because i disagreed with you once before, (what a mistake that was)and your tag name was Jason Carr then, and two, i wouldn't waste my time sending vile comments to you or anyone on facebook or anywhere else, (i hate facebook) i have only posted comments on this site via Disqus! and lastly, i can't believe anyone would send a nice fella like you vile comments, you are such a lovely open minded guy! maybe you're getting paranoid
ReplyDeleteok dont spit your dummy out;-)CUTE BABY
ReplyDeletelol replied twice both deleted nothing insulting cannot be bothered again
ReplyDeletenot a Liverpool fan, but I follow the Hungarian National team (especially Dzsudzsak) obsessively. Everyone saying this would be a terrible signing has obviously never watched him. Despite the popular belief, he's played quite well in Russia and even though he hasn't scored a ton of goals there he sets up almost everything. Y'all should be excited about the possibility of him coming in.
ReplyDeletescruffy car theiving scousers are funny as feck
ReplyDeletethink the scousers will make 6th place this year`?
ReplyDeleteDzsudzsak is a world class player at PSV he was one of the greatest players I have seen he's a class goal scorer and gets a tone of assists which with Sturrige and Suarez and the up and coming borini they need a winger who is very versatile and can play in any position given to him!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about spelling on player names auto correct!!
And 12m is not much in football terms now anyway!!
